Considering its pairing with mirrorless cameras, TAMRON
pursued a compact size that allows handheld shooting while developing the TAMRON
150-500mm F5-6.7 (a full-frame equivalent of 225-750mm on APS-C cameras). With
a length of 209.6mm (8.3 inches) and maximum diameter of 93mm, the 150-500mm
F5-6.7 is astonishingly compact for a 500mm-class ultra-telephoto zoom lens.
Even when extended to the 500mm telephoto end, the lens has a length of around
283mm (11.1 inches). Another distinctive feature is that the arc of rotation of
the zoom ring is small - only 75 degrees, which enables swift adjustment to the
desired focal length with minimal movement.
Uncompromising High Image Quality Throughout the Entire Zoom Range
In addition to covering a broad range of focal lengths, the 150-500mm F5-6.7
has high resolving power with excellent image-rendering performance across the
entire zoom range. The optical construction features 25 elements in 16 groups.
The effective placement of special lens elements - including one XLD (eXtra Low
Dispersion), five LD (Low Dispersion) and two hybrid aspherical lens elements -
enables the 150-500mm F5-6.7 to produce clear images while controlling
chromatic aberrations. BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2)
Coating is used to suppress ghosting and flare, which commonly occur under
backlit conditions. These features allow the lens to produce finely detailed
images of a wide variety of subjects including wild animals, birds, nature, and
sports, while producing soft and beautiful bokeh effects.
High-Speed, High-Precision AF Means You’ll Never Miss a Photo Opportunity
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 zoom’s AF drive system is equipped with the VXD
(Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. VXD delivers
extreme high-speed and high-precision movement and ensures exceptionally
responsive performance. Focus tracking performance is also very high. The
linear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibrations during focusing, making
it ideal for shooting both still photos and video in environments that demand
quietness.
VC Image Stabilization for Steady Shooting, Particularly in the
Ultra-Telephoto Range
When shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, even the smallest vibrations can
lead to loss of image clarity. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 is equipped with VC
(Vibration Compensation) functionality to support sharp images despite
unavoidable camera shake. VC delivers powerful support for handheld shooting of
scenes with low light levels, such as evening scenes and indoor shots, without
the use of a tripod.
MOD of 0.6m (23.6 inches) when Shooting at the 150mm Setting
The 150-500mm F5-6.7 lets users freely enjoy telephoto macro shooting of
subjects at close-up distances. The lens has an MOD of 0.6m (23.6in) at the
150mm end, and 1.8m (70.9in) at the 500mm end. More remarkably, the maximum
magnification ratio at the 150mm end is 1:3.1, offering excellent close-up
shooting capabilities for an ultra-telephoto zoom lens. In addition to
capturing dynamic shots by getting close to the subject, it enables tele-macro photography
at close range, something that is not possible with conventional
ultra-telephoto zoom lenses. The 150-500mm F5-6.7 can be used in a wide range
of situations from plants to insects to tabletop photography.
